Test drone take place in Taitung County. According to Taiwanese media reports, the Teng Yun is being tested at the Zhihang Air Base by flying over sparsely populated areas.
The characteristics of the drone developers do not disclose, indicating only that it is in the same class with the American drone MQ-9 Reaper.
The device was developed for the Taiwanese Air Force, but its initial version did not suit the military - in particular, the Defense Ministry expressed dissatisfaction with the drone’s electronics. After completion, the drone may again interest the military, who intend to purchase from 12 to 20 similar devices.
